GUITAR SOLO

I just spent about two hours (or roughly 20 times) recording takes of the same gentle acoustic guitar solo over and over. I kept screwing it up. The result is nice, though.

However, it must be known : I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!

The new album is in progress and is coming at the end of this year.

Dope Catscan shirts

For those of you who don't know, our Catscan shirts are dope. The logo always attracts comments from pretty people of the opposite gender, and as such the shirts are great conversation starters. I dont know where you can order them, but I am sure Mason or Paul does!

New (OLD!) Website!
New (OLD!) EP!
New (NEW!) Album!
New (NEW!) News!

Check out the new website! We've changed the layout a bit overall. Although it may not look too new to the untrained eye, behind the curtain everything is brand new and should better serve the band. We've also added a new section which will we will highlight some of our favs.

Looking over the music page, the dedicated will notice that a few songs which used to be on Based on a Fake Story are MISSING. Fear not, they aren't gone forever, they've just moved to their own History of Music EP. Millions of years summed up in just ten songs.

Paul and Mason are hard at work on a NEW ALBUM! I know it's been said many times but there are a few actual recordings in progress, so it's for real and the boys mean business. Armed with new software, better equipment, and higher levels of skill and maturity, they tell me they currently have their sights set for a 2010 release.

Summer is here!

Next Tuesday, May 26th, we will release a bunch of songs about animals called THE WAR IN ARACH EP. It is a collaborative experiment between us (CATSCAN) and our British friends from across the pond (RICHY&GEORGIE). Paul and Mason agree, it is one of the weirdest things we have done in years.

The Catscan RPG Demo link finally works!

For those not in the know, Catscan has been developing a role playing game for the last decade or something. We made a stylistic choice to design a game in the style of those ancient SNES RPGs that you used to love!

Click here to get the new demo! Windows operating system required. You might be able to use Wine or something, though.

In other news, Catscan will play a private party for a dear old friend. I don't think you're invited. Maybe we'll repeat the show the next week at the usual spot, if you're really lucky.

April Fool Every One! I hope no one was too worried! I know I wasn't.

Catscan's been a little on the quiet side lately, but it is merely the calm before the storm that will be hereafter known as CATSCAN SUMMERSTORM 2009. We're still writing the new album and plan on recording it some time this summer with exciting new and better equipment (played by the same old guys). Speaking of Guys, sorry to scare ya, The!

Here's a track off the upcoming and currently untitled collaboration with brit brats RICHY & GEORGIE called Cats Can! We're not sure if they're talking about butts with that title, but we do know that it is based around a sample taken from the song Cat Speaks from our Future EP. It features the freestylin' of dead ex-vice president Agnew. HERE IT IS : Cats Can!
